Is Hodgson the right man for LFC

[anfieldanfield]

May as well back him. As we wont sack him.

[reds123]

I wouldn't even wait 5 games personally. Kenny is the answer for me. The only answer really. Although I know in reality that is never going to happen.

Give him 5 more games! Then let the supporters shout Kenny's name in the ground!!! Make pressure on the dickheads!

Roy Hodgson is the worst managerial appointment in Liverpool's modern history.

Worse than Souness. At least when he was appointed there was unanimity that he was the right man for the job, ultimately that faith was found to be misplaced.

The most uninspiring and unpopular managerial decision ever. Not doubting his integrity, or his best intentions - just damning his unsuitability and seeming ignorance of what is required of a Liverpool manager.

Its a shame his tactics are ****, because he talks well in the press conferences.

He's gotta be on the brink of going. I think it's inevitable he'll go before Xmas. It's the damage he could do in the meantime that really worries me.

I've been a fan for 35 years and only under Souness did I ever seriously worry about losing a forthcoming game at Anfield. Under Hodgson, I fear we could lose & draw more home games than ever and then when you factor in his overall PL away record, we could be in real trouble.

Anfield was a bastion of invincibility and even under more recent managers Evans, Houllier & especially Rafa we were mostly on the attack at Anfield and teams really had to sweat to get anything. Under Hodgson there just doesn't seem to be the right mentality. Teams are playing us off the park ffs. We are there for the taking and everyone knows it. Last week at OT we could've been really embarassed.

Dalglish was and still is a great manager. This is the right club for him obviously and he will instil the right mentality and get the team playing again in the Liverpool way. His success rate in the transfer market was generally better than most too.

Yes his time at Newcastle wasn't great but was still probably better than Fergie's first 2 years at Utd. Kenny got a massively under-achieving club to FA Cup final and finished 2nd in the PL. At Blackburn, his record was amazing at such a small club albeit with money to spend. His signings were generally very very good.

I'm not one for changing managers so early normally but Hodgson was never a class manager and is clearly out of his depth and we have a better more proven manager who is also a true legend already at the club

We are in the wrong hands on and off the pitch. Time for a change on both fronts not just one.

"Talks well in press conferences"?!?

Are you taking the mother****ing piss?

Well at the start he made the right noises, I mean re Torres / Gerrard / Masch, but not now when he says he's happy with draws against ****ing **** teams.

I agree. Bring back the king! Discipline, pass and move and motivation!

We need to get our respect back and the players will run through walls for Kenny.

[saveferris]

He needs to change his mentality from being a manager who sets his team out to be organisationally and defensively rigid in order to outperform better teams aka Fulham. to one where there is a level of rigidity but taking the initiative to the opposition, as this club expects.

For me whether we are winning or losing it's the performance that matters. His alleged man management skills also need to be highlighted soon. We have looked really poor.

Of course it's early days but the signs so far have been really uninspirational and disappointing that needs to change asap

Taken from TLW

The only thing that was as clear as day is that the owners had to go. The ONLY THING.

Everything else was a matter of very heated conjecture.

Under no circumstances should the manager have gone before the owners.

The board admitted that they couldn't take the club forward, that is why Rafa left/was sacked, Roy Hodgson was/is an appointment that was made simply to make do for a bit, and he can't even do that.

He wasn't expected to win anything, there was no pressure on him to do anything, that is the bracket of Manager he is in, simply someone appointed to tread water, they didn't even try to sell it to us that they had appointed a better manager, they wanted someone in who would see the magic tricks going on with the finances and keep his trap shut about it and keep us ticking over.

He is the puppet of owners and a board with no ambition whatsoever other than taking money out of the club and 'brand loyalty' and he can't even manage 'ticking over' THAT is how bad he is.

There is no question as to whether Roy is the right appointment or whether time will tell. He has won **** all of any note in 30 odd years, I can answer that for you now.

As for whether he was the 'right' appointment, that very much depends on your agenda doesn't it?

My agenda is pro-LFC and anti-owners, therefore never, ever while there are Stars in the sky and there is a hole in my arse is Roy Hodgson the 'right' appointment for my Club. Never.

[DannyMan2006]

He has to go. He'll not go yet, but he seems to be a dead man walking.

[TheElephantMan]

He will go, but for now he's our manager. The ownership issue is by far our most significant problem right now, we can't blame Hodgson for the mess we're in. He is clueless, but he has inherited a squad low on confidence. I'm sure RH will be good enough to get us into the top six, I'm not really that arsed where we finish this season. Just want to get rid of those two c***s.

"I am gonna attack them and see how good their back four is" - Holloway about the LFC game. Says a lot about us.
